Other goodies available on the night include a unicycle, boat trip around Rye Bay, paddle boarding, a floppy hat, wool spinning lesson, nest of three pine tables, bottle of champagne from Houses of Parliament, hand carved wooden plaque of favourite person or pet, clairvoyant reading & healing, and not forgetting the chance to bid for the honour of being Rye Fawkes for the night and be paraded down to the Salts and a chance of a lifetime to light the ‘Nornous Bonfire’ on the night..
Rye & District Bonfire Society would like to thank Judith Blincow, and her team, at the Mermaid Hotel for their continued support in hosting their annual Auction of Promises to raise funds for this year’s Bonfire Celebrations and everybody who has donated such wonderful items!
